The peas pulov is an easy to make dish, consisting of a gentle combination
of green peas, basmati rice and some mild spices. It is enjoyed by
children and adults, and is mild, aromatic and delicious. Visually it is a
great treat, with the green peas sprinkled between the white basmati
steamed rice

Ingredients:

Basmati Rice: 2 cups (or long grain rice)

Ghee or clarified butter: 3 tablespoons

Onion: 1 medium side, thinly sliced

Green Chilies: 3 sliced into halves

Cloves: 2

Cardamom: 2

Cinnamon: 1 inch piece

Fresh Ginger: ¼ inch piece, de-skinned

Garlic: 3 cloves, crushed

Sweet Green Peas: 1 cup (fresh or frozen)

Red Chili Powder: ½ teaspoon

Turmeric Powder: ¼ teaspoon

Cilantro leaves: ¼ cup, chopped

Water: 4 cups

Salt: 2 teaspoons or as per taste

Preparation:

Sweet
peas spice mix:

1.Heat a wide sauce pan to medium high for 30 seconds. Then add the
ghee (or clarified butter). Fresh butter can be used, instead of ghee as
well. The flavor is slightly different with butter.

2.Add the cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, green chilies, along with
sliced onions and sauté for 3~4 minutes or until the onions turn light
golden brown.

3.Now add ginger, garlic, sweet green peas and sauté for
additional 3~4minutes. You will get a nice aroma from all the spices,
blending with the onions and sweet peas.

4.Add the rice along with chili and turmeric powder. Add 2 ¼ cups

5.Now transfer the entire content to a rice cooker or pressure
cooker and steam cook them. The time taken to cook the rice mix is same as
cooking plain steam rice.

6.Once the peas pulov is cooked, using a spatula, very gently mix
the entire content a couple of times, as the peas normally settles to the
top when cooked.

7.Top it off with the chopped cilantro leaves.
